The Content Search tab allows you to configure how article and content searches behave:- Text Weight: Controls the importance of text content similarity (0-1). Higher values prioritize matches based on article text, title, author, and tags. Default: 0.7
- Image Weight: Controls the importance of visual similarity (0-1). Higher values prioritize matches based on article images. Default: 0.3
